new chairy love

It doesn't have to be in good shape, it doesn't have to have pretty fabric. It just has to be this style.

These chairs are so fabulous.

They have been for decades.

I'm just wild for them.

Again...when you find them, you call me!

The credit for this beautiful pink chairy above goes to From Me to You. Literally everything in that apartment is beautiful, right down to the Kelly green tiles in the kitchen. I would move to that very space in .0005 seconds. Seriously.

Enough with my crazy desire to move to NYC...
back to the original subject at hand, the chair.

In the midst of my search I did actually find one that I really do like. I just don't like the nearly $1200.00 price tag. But if push comes to shove it may be a viable option. It surely does look good...doesn't it?!?!?

I know I'm not the only one who has looked to Ballard Design as an option.

Thusly I'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat of being totally

smitten with a piece and finding it not an actual option. Bummer.

For the past week, Jenny atLittle Green Notebookhas been sharing her 5 part series on her revamp of this very chair. I learned through this series that these chairs are mid-century bergeres. Hmm, good to know. I also learned that I don't think I could ever recover a chair like this or any chair for that matter myself. I truly admire those who can. Unfortunately, I was not born with this in my available skill set. And I will just have to live with it and move on. Way to go Jenny, this is really an awesome project.
